Parenting Healthy

I have partnered with FlipaZoo and Flip Zee for this feature

FlipaZoo 2.0 Flipzee is here. If you are familiar with the original FlipaZoo plush then you will love the newest series of these reversible fun plush toys. There are brand new characters and as you may already know, you get 2 animals in one.

Each Flipzee has 2 soft animal characters that you flip from to hang out with the plush buddy of your choice. Right now my 9 year old talks about wanting a dog. We are in no position to get hime one right now as we are in the middle of moving into our new home so right now any plush or toy that is a dog character is what he wants.

Now this is a dog we can have right now…..

FlipaZoo Flipzee has all of the various animal plush and Flip Zee Girls has the doll characters that flip open to a doll or fold up to a wrapped bundle of joy. As a baby she has small brown eyes, as a doll those eyes are her adorable freckles. Watching her grow from baby to girl is so much fun. Perfect for the “I am NOT a BABY anymore!” stage and older. Collect all 6 of them!

Keep these in mind this holiday season-they are a lot of fun! Not only can you find these FlipaZoo plush there are also minis and slippers collections available. See them all at FlipaZoo.com and FlipZeeGirls.com

BLURBLE Game Review and Video

August 4, 2017February 16, 2018 Erin Sluka

Thank you to NorthStarGames for including this game in our Sweet Suite 2017 Conference box

At the 2017 Sweet Suite conference we were introduced to the game BLURBLE. It was one of Anthony’s favorite booths we stopped at. So, we played a few rounds for you to see how hilarious it can get. From age 8 to 88 it is going to bring laughter to your next game night. It is more challenging than you think! Perhaps you will recognize the game from the older packaging. It is the same hilarious game.

Enjoy! Then find the game for yourself at Amazon and other retailers near you from NorthStar Games.

Volume Limiting Kids Headphones – BuddyPhones Explore

August 4, 2017September 20, 2017 Erin Sluka

I have partnered with Onanoff for this feature

Chances are your child owns or has access to a tablet, phone or learning device. Depending on their stages they may be into features or music we don’t necessarily want to listen to, especially on planes or in car rides. If you are looking for headphones for your toddler or child, consider ones that are made safe for their ears with features that will benefit the both of you. BuddyPhones – Explore from Onanoff won a bronze award for design last year.

The features of these headphones are more than you may expect from a set of child headphones and are built to last.

Safe Audio set at 85db (standard headphones run about 105db and that’s too much for their little ears)
Built in BuddyCable so a second, third and even fourth headset (siblings or friends can plug in too with their headphones)
Microphone on cord
Ages 3+
Adjustable to fit
Anti-Allergic Cushion ear pads
Super Durable headband
6 Colors: blue, yellow, green, pink, red, orange
Customize stickers included

They are a soft cushion for a very comfortable fit. With all of these fantastic features these make terrific headphones. Great for back to school and gift ideas. Learn more on the product page.

Four Ingredient Protein Cookies with Premier Protein #TheDayIsYours

August 1, 2017August 30, 2018 Erin Sluka

I am a Premier Protein Ambassador and have partnered for this sponsored feature. Recipe is my own

I am writing this on August 1st and this was the date I gave myself to start back into a new regimen. The past month I have been to Las Vegas, NYC and moved to a new town into a new built home and am all unpacked. Now I wipe that sweat off my forehead and get back into healthy habits. While waiting for the home build to complete we lived in a hotel for 3 weeks. I had to learn to cook with simple ingredients because of the small space and lack of food I brought to eat off of until we can move into the house. These were a favorite and so easy to make. Just 4 ingredients and we had cookies with very low sugar and packed with protein.

I had found similar recipes online and just gathered a few, added the ingredients I liked and this was the result. It is so easy and often can whip these up quicker than a batch of french toast in the mornings. Then we can grab and eat them out the door or pack the in our lunches.

Four Ingredient Protein Cookies

2 Ripe Bananas
1.5 Cups Oats (I like to use organic oats)
1/2 Scoop of Premier Vanilla Milkshake Powder
1/3 Cup chocolate morsels ( or any addition that fits for you-raisins, nuts, etc)

Mix all together and spoon into 2″ drops onto a greased cookie sheet. bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Why do I recommend Premier Protein Powder? You get 30 grams of protein per scoop and only 3 grams of sugar. There are no artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners and it is gluten free. Make sure the protein products you consume offer the best ingredients like Premier Protein. Other brands out there may contain artificial ingredients and synthetic nutrients so you really want to do your homework and choose wisely.
